Uncle Sam, Inc. – Stephen Moore http://www.nationalreview.com/moore/moore.asp

Housing hurdles – the solution?  Thomas Sowell Nowhere have illusions been more abundant than in discussions of housing -- especially that ever-elusive "affordable housing" that so many people wring their hands over -- often while passing laws that make it virtually impossible to achieve…. How could there have been affordable housing back in the bad old days, before there was so much compassion, social justice and a Department of Housing and Urban Development? This was back when people built, sold and rented housing for the sake of -- you should excuse the expression -- profit.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3504

Housing hurdles in California – Thomas Sowell Those who impose height restrictions can ignore such things. A few blithe words about not wanting their community to look like Manhattan are usually about all the thought they give to the subject. It would never occur to them to ask the real question: How much don't you want it to look like Manhattan? How high a price are you prepared to pay? …A doubling of rent and 3 additional highway fatalities a year? A tripling of rents and 10 additional highway fatalities a year? Whatever the answer, the point is that height restrictions are not a free lunch -- whether the costs are measured in money or in lives….A lot of people who cannot afford it are paying heavily for the ego trips of environmental zealots.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3501

Stirring the columnist pot -   What the Libertarian types fail to understand is how deeply and blindly most “Christians,” – “Jews” – “Muslims,” etc., usually the sheeple type, hold their beliefs, however shallow their understanding of them might be. In fact the shallowness, other wise known as blind faith, allows them to grip them that much tighter. http://www.willowtown.com/freekentucky/columns04/pot.html
